Hacker Helpline, like free office hours for physical computing questions

Musician, artist, engineer and programmer Eric Singer is starting an interesting project, called the hacker helpline. For a few hours a week, he'll be taking calls on Skype to help answer your questions about building physical things:

Hacker Helpline is a new service from Eric Singer of the League of Electronic Musical Urban Robots. For a few hours a week, Eric will be on Skype, ready to answer your questions about projects, electronics, software, robotics, physical computing, etc.

To contact the Hacker Helpline, open Skype and add contact "hackerhelpline". Then look in the Mood section to see dates and hours. During those times, you can chat in and get help (or get queued up for help if a previous chat is active). A/V chats are supported (even preferred...it's nice to see who you're talking to).

Hacker Helpline launches on March 23rd at 10 am EST.

Laser-cutting old vinyl LPs

Personally, these laser-cut plastic end tables by Israel's Studio Groovy (Fair warning: I couldn't actually find them on their Flash-y website.) are not to my taste, but I really like the fact that that they put some old vinyl records in their laser cutter and managed to make something fairly cool out of them. Bonus: The table on the left uses the cut-out from the table on the right as decoration, so there's very little waste. [via Recyclart] Read More

Rubik's cube of Doom

A few years ago (2002?) I made this "accessible" cube puzzle by simply gluing/drilling an existing cube. The goal was to get an intuitive sense of "where the cubes went" when a face was turned - by holding the back and viewing the front, the cubist can sense all faces at all times. This makes the design ideal for puzzling in the dark (which I did) but also as an enhancement for the visually-impaired without sacrificing usability for the sighted. Read More
